Evolution mechanisms of the scratch-induced elastoplastic stress fields and crack damage in γ-TiAl alloys by Zhaoqing Zhang, Kaining Shi, Yaoyao Shi, Huhu Li, Danni Lu, Yujie Kuang, Jiacheng Liu

“…Furthermore, an analytical model of the elastoplastic stress field was established, and a system model of the crack initiation and propagation was developed by systematically analyzing the influence of the elastoplastic stress field on crack damage evolution. Detailed quantitative and visual analyses of the stress field variations, surface morphology characteristics, and crack propagation paths at the surface, shallow, and deeper layers revealed that the elastoplastic stress field model accurately reflects the stress field evolution during the scratching process of γ-TiAl alloys, and the mechanisms of crack initiation and propagation at both the surface and subsurface was elucidated and verified. …”

The Mycobacterium ulcerans toxin mycolactone causes destructive Sec61-dependent loss of the endothelial glycocalyx and vessel basement membrane to drive skin necrosis by Louise Tzung-Harn Hsieh, Belinda S Hall, Jane Newcombe, Tom A Mendum, Sonia Santana Varela, Yagnesh Umrania, Michael J Deery, Wei Q Shi, Josué Diaz-Delgado, Francisco J Salguero, Rachel E Simmonds

“…We show that mycolactone-induced changes in endothelial morphology, adhesion, migration, and permeability are dependent on its action at the Sec61 translocon. Unbiased quantitative proteomics identified a profound effect on proteoglycans, driven by rapid loss of type II transmembrane proteins of the Golgi, including enzymes required for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis, combined with a reduction in the core proteins themselves. …”
